Yes, the mighty Franklin Institute tasted defeat for the first time this season.
Sub manager Ron Goldwyn filed this report while the skipper is doing whatever he is doing abroad:
Franklin Institute gets beat! They're no longer undefeated, no longer invincible -- humbled if not humble! Still drinking PBR in those mediocre uniforms. And we played them in the same week it happened!
Full disclosure requires the admission that it was the South Philly Taproom on Tuesday, not the P&P on Monday, that administered said defeat (8-6 in you're keeping score).
Monday at Edgely 4, under gorgeous spring-summer skies, TFI won 19-6.
The game was not as close as the score indicates (we plated three in bottom-7 but left the tying run standing behind the bench, laughing and drinking beer with some horny dog).
Two of the first four batters in Inning One hit long home runs. We held them to two more homers the rest of the way. But it was 9-0,the traditional forfeit score, before we'd batted in the second.
Stars on a nonstarry night -- Brian Donlen, three hits (a double), Tom Hickey three hits (a triple), George Miller two hits (2 rbi), Dan Rubin two hits.
Julie Dugan made two spectacular grabs of long flies deep to right, setting an example that none of her male counterparts in all the rest of the outfield could match. Kate Fagan made her P&P debut an impressive one with several keystone sack gems and a single.
Point of personal privilege. Author and manager-in-waiting Ron Goldwyn singled sharply to third in his first AB of the season and retires, again, hitting 1.000.
The semi-mighty P&P does it all over again Tuesday June 10 on Edgely 8, our favorite old field by the refreshment stand, against the giant-killer SPTR's. We're the home team. It's dollar-and-a-half dog night, if the hot doggie lady happens to repair of if we roast a mascot.
